Rose Blood by A.G. Howard ($12.50)

This YA novel from New York Times bestselling author A. G. Howard marks the beginning of a new era for fans of the Splintered series. Rune Germain moves to a boarding school outside of Paris, only to discover that at this opera-house-turned-music-conservatory, phantoms really do exist. RoseBlood is a Phantom of the Opera–inspired retelling in which Rune’s biggest talent—her voice—is also her biggest curse. Fans of Daughter of Smoke and Bone and the Splintered series will find themselves captivated by this pulse-pounding spin on a classic tale.

Rune, whose voice has been compared to that of an angel, has a mysterious affliction linked to her talent that leaves her sick and drained at the end of every performance. Convinced creative direction will cure her, her mother ships her off to a French boarding school for the arts, rumored to have a haunted past.

Shortly after arriving at RoseBlood conservatory, Rune starts to believe something otherworldly is indeed afoot. The mystery boy she’s seen frequenting the graveyard beside the opera house doesn’t have any classes at the school, and vanishes almost as quickly as he appears. When Rune begins to develop a secret friendship with the elusive Thorn, who dresses in clothing straight out of the 19th century, she realizes that in his presence she feels cured. Thorn may be falling for Rune, but the phantom haunting RoseBlood wants her for a very specific and dangerous purpose. As their love continues to grow, Thorn is faced with an impossible choice: lead Rune to her destruction, or save her and face the wrath of the phantom, the only father he’s ever known.

A. G. Howard brings the romantic storytelling that Splintered fans adore to France—and an entirely new world filled with lavish romance and intrigue—in a retelling inspired by a story that has captivated generations. Fans of both the Phantom of the Opera musical and novel, as well as YA retellings such as Marissa Meyer’s Cinder, will devour RoseBlood.

A book based on The Phantom of the Opera! I am so excited to read this book and hopefully get my daughter, who currently only reads Manga to try it out as well. From the description alone I’m feeling a journey of love and mystery is about to take me to a whole new literary world.

Hand Painted Masquerade Mask. This mask is beautifully crafted and meticulously painted. The bold red and gold colors are fit for a queen. I am super happy to report the glitter doesn’t shed, it stayed on the mask and not on my clothes and face. With that being said it looks great on but I’m really looking forward to getting it into a shadow box to display this beautiful mask in all its glory and splendor.

Phantom of the Opera inspired Tumbler by Down the Hatch Designs ($12). The quote reads “Let your darker side give in to the power of the music of the night” in a beautiful rose red color and on the other side is a chandelier. This tumbler is heavy duty and I am in love but it was shipped without a straw. I tore the box apart looking for the matching straw but it truly wasn’t there, good thing I have a surplus of straws because I will be using this cup all the time.

Cargo Cosmetics Lip Gloss in Prague ($16). At first, I was not feeling this color but I pushed ahead and dabbed some on, it was wonderful. My lips were left hydrated and super soft. Plus the color is so much more flattering outside of the tube, I will not be judging this lip gloss by packaging alone again.

Six Pack Herbal Tea Candle Set by Natures Court. Beautiful and natural are just a few words used to describe these candles. I’m not sure I will be burning them because I just love how they look. The smell is so subtle I can almost imagine a candlelit bath with a book in hand.

The Lady Lair is such a fun box and I can’t get enough of it! I love that everything from beauty to lifestyle is represented in one place and it all goes together without making me guess what the connection might be. The quality of product that is brought to my door is super but my favorite part is how recent the books are. This book came out January 10, 2017 and is now in my book hungry hands, I’m so excited! Thank you for all the awesome goodies and especially for taking the time to bubble wrap breakables to ensure that everything will arrive in perfect condition. I’m counting down until my next box is delivered.
